Lovely venue, friendly staff, magnificent views. Erving menu choice limited but excellent quality. Some items have excesses that seem to cover the cost of the whole item whereas you have already paid a significant amount! 3 course nearly £60 then the cheese board is an extra £13.

Amazing Room Upgrade and Memorable Dinner

It was our first time visiting the Lake District, and our trip began with a stay at Cragwood Hotel. From the moment we checked in, the staff were so kind and helpful. To our surprise, they upgraded our room and even walked us there personally. The room was absolutely amazing—spacious, elegant, and felt almost like staying in a castle. We arrived at sunset, and when we opened the door, the view was breathtaking. It was such a peaceful, comfortable start to our trip, and really set the tone for a wonderful experience. We also had dinner at the hotel, which I would highly recommend. After checking in and relaxing, we went to the restaurant and were seated by the window. The dining area only had around five tables, which gave a sense of privacy and space between guests. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, and even surprised us with an extra sorbet. The food was absolutely delicious—something we won’t forget.

Great dog friendly stay

Lovely dog friendly stay,we had a bottom floor room with patio doors that led out so you could walk your dog straight from the room. The room was modern and warm and the hotel itself was great to relax in with plenty of places to sit and read or just chill. We had food from the bar menu which was nice and you can sit in one of the living rooms to eat. Overall a great stay
